Huvudsta centrum may be an incredibly dull shopping mall but they do know how to say "see you again soon" with flowers.

The pulpit from 1599 in Ösmo Church. Without a tripod, this shot was somewhat tricky.

This is part of the harbour of Vaxholm, on a beatiful autumn-day. There are still some vessels around, even though many are already out of the water.

Not really. It's rare fly-by, performed by 18 JAS39 Gripen (Griffin) from F7 and F21 during the celebration of Crown Princess Victoria's wedding day. It's been 17 years since it was allowed the last time. At that time one of them made headlines by going down . No such thing this time.

There's no shortage of floating vessels in Stockholm. At this time of year, they tend to remain moored.

Evidently, tram passengers are smarter than folks in the subway or commuter trains. That's why they're allowed to open the doors by themselves.
